| Zusammenfassung: | The village of al-Araqib has been destroyed and rebuilt more than seventy times in the ongoing battle over the Negev, an Israeli state campaign to uproot the Palestinian Bedouins from the northern threshold of the desert. Unlike other frontiers fought over during the Israel-Palestine confl ict, this one is not demarcated by fences and walls but by shifting climatic conditions. The threshold of the desert advances and recedes in response to colonization, cultivation, displacement, urbanization, and, most recently, climate change. In his response to Sheikhs Desert Bloom series (part of Sheikhs The Erasure Trilogy, published by Steidl), Eyal Weizmans essay incorporates historical aerial photographs, contemporary remote sensing data, state plans, court testimonies, and nineteenth-century travelers accounts, exploring the Negevs threshold as a shoreline along which climate change and political confl ict are deeply and dangerously entangled |
